I feel like if you get a stud Safety in the draft who can replace Adams, and Coleman can somehow find his 2015 form, then Bradberry will look much better. Worley needs to lose some weight and be fast enough to not have to play off the ball so far. 

But also, if we signed a decent starting CB who could not only push both Bradberry and Worley to the next level, but also help coach them up, that would be ideal.

Bradberry was just plain off this season. I don't think the safeties had anything to do with it. The last Tampa game was a good sign. Doing dumb, obvious stuff like grabbing jerseys or grabbing Mike Evans' leg. He's regressed while Worley has shown improvement. To me, the evidence is in how they got their INTs. Bradberry lucked up on some deflections whilst Worley went up and got his running with the receiver. Hopefully it was an outlier as his career continues. We do need a safety that can replace Mike Adams though and I'm all for CB help. Guys like Gunther don't really offer immediate value. I'm eager to see what Corn can do healthy.

Gunter is better than Worley. Watch the game again, watch when worley comes out and Gunter goes in. Watch him stick to his guy, Brees hesitate and our DLine gets to him.

Kalil Norman Munnerlyn and Hardy are the only non first round picks I can think of that were major contributors 

Exactly. Hurney hits them really good when he does—

although we can put Hardy in a catagory with Otah and Everette Brown— busts. Hardy not so much because he was like. 4th rounder or 5th right?

Hardy could have been something special but he got eaten with the dumbass disease.

the dumbass disease is strong— will easily destroy anyone.

With TD about to retire in 2018 somewhere we need a LB.  Our DE position being a weak point in our front 7.  They have to be addressed as well.

I really think if we address round one of the best of the following most will be Happy, WR, DE, S, CB, OT and possibly (but doubt round 1) RB.

I think most will freak out if we grab a LB.

These priorities will change after Free Agency providing we actually go free agency.

With the money invested in kalil I think our best bet is to hope he or Morton improves enough to be serviceable. We can’t invest another high pick in OT when we already have a lot of resources tied up there. Lb I agree with but maybe later rounds or an average FA. I personally don’t think shaq is that good either but I know others do so maybe just more Nicole packages with 2 lbs (nickle is 2 lbs and an extra corner right?)

      I think you've nailed what we need right here.  Rodriguez and Thieneman would be my choices, Thieneman in the first and Rodriguez in the second. Let everyone else eat up their picks on the crop of WRs and linemen. Then make a push in free agency for the top center.

      Vernon Gholston vibes?  had 14 sacks at Ohio State in 2007; 45 games in the NFL:  0 sacks.

      I want a high impact player, but a true FS who could qb the secondary might be more effective than we realize.  I don't think Moehrig is that guy (I think he is overpaid, however).  I want a flashy, high impact player, but we could use defensive qbs at ILB  and FS.  By upgrading skill AND adding vision and leadership, could we get better than if we added an edge or OT? I am not sure that I believe this myself, but I try to look at things from all perspectives.  Here is some devil's advocacy stuff: 1. EDGE-We are freaking out about the pressure we put on the qb from the edge position.  However, Jones II and Wonnum missed a total of 22 games. Scourton was a rookie and Princely was a third rounder.  Wharton sucked (not sure if he was used properly--a hybrid who can rush from the 5 tech or 3, etc), and this put more pressure on Scourton and the other edge players.  This year, we get Jones II, Scourton should continue to evolve with Princely.  Perhaps another rookie is not what we need.  Maybe a veteran situational pass rusher.  2. OFFENSIVE TACKLE:  Of course, we need an OT, but the draft is loaded with OTs that can pass block but struggle in run blocking--so a rookie at LT might not be the answer for a team that wants to run first.  What to do?  I am not sure.  I see Nijman returning after testing the market, but who knows? 3.  INSIDE LB:  A huge need, regardless of how you spin it.  However, I see a few free agents who would be solid here, and I see the second round having a few ILBs with starting potential.  I do not see an ILB worth the first round pick unless a freak falls to us. 4.  With veteran defensive backs, a young, intelligent FS could fit in nicely. Intelligence is key--like the way Luke made the front 7 better. "A good, intelligent free safety (FS) acts as the "quarterback of the defense" transforming a unit from good to great by acting as the last line of defense, communicating pre-snap adjustments, and anticipating plays before they happen. By reading the quarterback's eyes and diagnosing offensive schemes, an intelligent FS acts as a "centerfielder" who can neutralize deep threats and mitigate errors made by cornerbacks or linebackers."
